The Byte Before Christmas Label Contest!

[Miss 2600]

Is there a source that has a skeleton label so we can get the right size when creating a label?

Yes, check out this post. Good luck!

[+RevEng]

Nice animated title screen. Of course the games look good too.

 

I'm pretty proud of the way it came out - thanks!

[KevinMos3]

I'm really looking forward to this. With the label contest running until the 12th, will it be able to make it in time for Christmas?

The only answer I have is, "I really hope so." We've already worked through a lot of setbacks to get where we are now.

 

When the winner for the label art is chosen, the remaining work will be be out of our hands, and in Al's (very busy) hands.

Maybe there will be a Christmas miracle!

I didn't have much time, but squeezed in a quick label / box. I always start w/ the box and work backwards, so I figured I'd include it here, too, even if you're just looking for a label.

I tried to make it look like a gift.

Nice! Amazing what you can "squeeze in..."

Awesome as always Brian! Is that random verbage in multiple languages as filler on the box?

Thanks! Yeah, I didn't want to waste time trying to come up with something so I just used Latin dummy text.

Yah, I thought it was Latin at first but a couple of words threw me. Either way, really cool design, simple, yet perfect. I continue to be amazed at how some folks on AA can quickly whip up some great art.

[Jifremok]

That design has "official AtariAge wrapping paper" written all over it! Also, great tagline.

Is the picture from the 80's bad enough?

She's thinking...He got an Atari! I want Smurfs and Strawberry Shortcake!!

[Brian O]

It looks like she's holding a bottle opener. Maybe she wants a beer to go w/ that Strawberry Shortcake

Despite only having a few entries, we had a tough time picking the winner for this contest.

 

Frankodragon's entry has a great folk-art edge to it, and purduecrum's beer-opening sister is very cool, but after some debate we decided that Brian O's wrapping-paper design nicely dovetailed with an idea we had for the cart all along - that it would be a gift to the community.

 

So thanks to all for participating, and congrats to Brian O!

[purduecrum]

Congrats to Brian O. If my "entry" was to be selected it would have been a travesty to Brian O as someone who has actual artistic talent!
